The councillor for culture in Albacete, Elena Serrallé, has revealed the details of the 2026-2027 cultural Christmas programme, which will be presented to the Commission for approval. This initiative features a blend of music, theatre, circus, cinema, folklore, storytelling, and light shows across various venues in the city.
Serrallé emphasised, “We have worked on a programme that combines big names with local talent, allowing space for our traditions while incorporating new proposals to continue inspiring excitement.” She also highlighted the importance of providing accessible, diverse, and high-quality culture that reaches a wider audience and enables local artists to participate during this festive season.
The programme will kick off on 27 November at 19:00 in the Plaza del Altozano with the event ‘Albacete ilumina tu Navidad’ (Albacete lights up your Christmas). The following day, 28 November, will feature ‘Albacete ilumina la Feria’, an evening of art, light, and movement starting at 19:00 with a parade from the Town Hall to the Pincho de la Feria.
Notable activities include a water and music show at the Glorieta de la Fuente de Tamos, the immersive installation ‘El patio de las estrellas’ at the Posada del Rosario, a Living Nativity scene in the Abelardo Sánchez park, and a concert by Hakuna.
Serrallé also announced that Albacete will debut two Christmas parades: the light switch-on parade ‘Albacete ilumina la Navidad en la Feria’ and the Santa Claus Parade, which will fill the streets with magic and allow families to share in the joy of the season.
The cultural Christmas will transition into preparations for the centenary of the Generation of '27 in the new year, featuring initiatives that will highlight the theatrical legacy of Federico García Lorca and his connection to Ramírez de Lucas.
